ChronoAgent overview

ChronoAgent is a silent background utility that allows a Mac to accept secure connections from ChronoSync and InterConneX for file transfers, folder synchronization or backups. You can access a ChronoAgent-enabled Mac over your local network or even across the country via the Internet. Connections are fast, secure, and optionally encrypted so you can get the most out of ChronoSync and InterConneX.

With ChronoSync, you can use your ChronoAgent-enabled Mac for remote backups and folder synchronization. With InterConneX, you can browse folders on your ChronoAgent-enabled Mac, display files from the remote Mac, and even pull files to your iDevice, if needed.

What’s new in version 11.1.0

Enhancements and changes:
  • Implemented much more robust user volume whitelist.
    • Each volume is tracked by UUID and/or mount URL and is re-identified on agent launch or when mounted.
    • Strict enforcement of client access to each whitelisted volume.
  • Updated online help.
Bug fixes:
  • Fixed a bug that was incorrectly reporting agent and OS version number to clients that cared, most notably, ChronoMonitor.
  • Fixed several bugs whereby the ChronoAgent Preference Pane would not allow you to start the agent because it thought it was misconfigured.
  • Fixed some display artifacts in the registration dialog.
  • Fixed some display artifacts concerning warning messages in the Preference Pane.

The •combination• of ChronoAgent + ChronoSync is absolutely the best working system for backups and bi-directional syncing that I've found in my three decades of using Macs. The duo enable a smart-scan feature which performs incredibly fast. If you haven't tried running both together [i.e., with agents on target Macs], I highly recommend it. Great job, Econ Technologies! -HI-

DEVELOPER: Is version 1.5.3 rated for El Capitan or should I wait for an update?

just installed CA 1.5.2 on a Mavericks system. system was already running 1.5. Everything appeared fine, continued to use the system, even rebooted several times. Went to sync and the other system running Chronosync could not find this system running CA. On the CA system, clicked on the CA icon in the menu bar, and it was grayed out, with the message 'incompatible version', even though this version supports Mavericks. Only after launching System Preferences, selecting the CA preferences AND THEN selecting the 'Status' tab, after about a minute of "thinking', only then did CA enable itself and turn on. Previous updates didn't have this issue, after updating it would restart the service and ready to go. Also as I mentioned, from the time I installed the 1.5.2 I had rebooted the system at least twice (for unrelated reasons), so any resetting that CA needed to do should have been done. Anyway, this is just a FYI to anyone upgrading, not a criticism. I've been a user of ChronoSync since version 1 and user from CA from the start, couldn't live without them now.
